Windows AI PCs are all the rage right now and there’s a lot of competition for the best business laptop. But now Dynabook is joining the fray by announcing the 14-inch Tecra A40-M and 16-inch Tecra A60-M.
Both laptops come standard with Windows 11 Pro, and Intel supplies the latest Core Ultra processors (Series 1) to take full advantage of the AI features Microsoft has added to its Copilot+ PCs.
The 14-inch and 16-inch displays have a 16:10 aspect ratio and feature touch options.
Brand new from Dynabook
Dynabook is known for its rugged PCs designed specifically for the modern workplace. The 16-inch Tecra A60-M is the company’s first 16-inch laptop and features a full 10-key backlit keyboard.
According to the company, the 16-inch model is aimed at creative and financial professionals, in addition to developers and engineers, while the 14-inch model is aimed at professionals, educators and students.
Both laptops come with Microsoft’s Copilot AI suite, which offers a number of different ways to get the most out of AI in the workplace, including as part of the Microsoft 365 suite. There’s also AI noise cancellation for calls, and a 5MP webcam with AI enhancements like background blur for sharper video conferencing calls.
The Tecra A40-M and Tecra A60-M have a relatively slim design and exceed the MIL-STD-810H standard for durability. Dynabook has finished both in a durable dark metallic paint that has an antimicrobial coating to ensure a more hygienic setup.
Safety first, party at the back
Security is of course quite important for business professionals and Dynabook has focused on including some of the most sought-after tools. Both come with a Trusted Platform Module (dTPM) 2.0 and can be equipped with facial and/or fingerprint biometric scanners, as well as smart card readers.
Additionally, Dynabook features both a Wi-Fi 6E and LAN port, along with business essentials including an HDMI port, Thunderbolt 4, USB Type-A and a microSD card slot.
The Tecra A40-M and Tecra A60-M will have a tough time competing with our picks for best business laptops, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 8 and the Acer Travelmate P4, but what we’ve seen so far looks promising.
